Indian cryptocurrency exchange WazirX recently announced its new 'Loss Strategy', which aimed to "socialise" its USD 230 million loss among its customers. WazirX, through its new strategy, said that the users with 100% tokens in the 'not stolen' category would receive 55% of their tokens back. The crypto exchange also said it would convert the remaining 45% to USDT-equivalent tokens and lock them. Users took on X and complained about this new "WazirX socialise loss strategy".
